BMW Clubs' World 2/14 www.bmw-clubs-international.com | BMW Clubs’ World | 12th year | Edition 2 | May 2014 BMW Clubs’ World 2/14 BMW Clubs International Council Newsletter NEW LOCATION OF BMW GROUP CLASSIC. TECHNO CLASSICA AdVENTURE TOUR INTERVIEW WITH IN ESSEN, 2014 FOLLOWING THE DR. RALF ZIEGLER DAKAR RALLY EDitITORORiaIALL DEAR BMW CLUB MEMBERS, The BMW Club season has now taken off in my region as spring is finally here. The Techno Classica show held in Essen in March is the world’s leading historic car exhibition and afforded an opportunity for the BMW Classic and Type Clubs Section, the worldwide umbrella organisation for historic BMW automobiles and motorcycles, together with BMW Classic, to present the whole BMW Motorsport brand range on two and four wheels, as well as reliving the kick-offs of the 1930s, 50s and 70s in the shape of the BMW Dixi, the R 23, Isetta or a BMW 1502. I regard this as a coherent presentation by equal partners – the clubs and the brands. A minimalist, brightly-lit, open stand layout integrated the clubs, their members, visitors and BMW Classic and BMW Club Office staff members to create a single entity, the BMW brand communication culture. This is a multi-layered term that is open to interpre- tation, but also the key to the development of shared potential. It is a permanent fixture in the guidelines of the BMW Clubs International Council, at Council meetings and in many club publications, often formulated, modified and put into practice, sometimes overlooked and also positively supported. The international BMW Club organisation, you as a club delegate, your own BMW Club and its members, the Board of the Council, the head of BMW Classic and Ms Sabine Fink as the new head of BMW Museum and BMW Group Classic Marketing and the BMW Club organisation are called upon to exploit this potential, carried by Club members worldwide – also in advance of the forthcoming centenary of the BMW brand on 7 March 2016. In other words, we need continuously to improve the quality of the results of our own activities in order to permanently improve their profile among all club members and within the BMW brand organisation and its staff worldwide. In implementing the resolutions passed at the Council meeting in 2013, the Board of the Council has sent its delegates an extensive report on the Working Meeting held in Munich in March 2014 to keep them up to date with current issues. I hope that this information will be distributed within your national or regional BMW Club organisation and also within the BMW corporate organisation. I would particularly like to thank my colleagues Phil Abrami and David de Bruyn for this. The aim of effective communication must be to develop and define an active partnership between the official BMW Clubs and the BMW organisation throughout the world in all its relevant aspects. In many parts of our global BMW Club community this is a genuine partnership - for example in the case of the BMW CCA and BMW North America in the USA. What can help with the development of such partnerships? As an official BMW Club, we have the privilege but not the right to seek ways to develop a partnership with the BMW organisation, its importers and dealers. Ideas and suggestions: Patience, perseverance, ideas for creating win-win situations, the use of the tools available to the BMW Clubs International Council, the “BMW Clubs’ World” platform, the Council website or our Facebook site or the help of the Club Office and Club Office Manager in presenting your club and gaining your BMW partner’s attention. As a BMW Club, as a club member and as a BMW enthusiast, we all have something to bring to the specific “BMW spirit” in order to promote it. I hope you enjoy a great BMW season in 2014, whether on two or four wheels. Drive safely, ride safely, wherever you are.

Gabriele Fink (49) took over responsibility for the BMW Museum and Marketing at BMW Group Classic with effect from 1 May 2014. Her predecessor, Dr. Ralf Rodepeter will now have responsibility for product strategy and marketing at BMW Motorrad. Gabriele Fink began her career 22 years ago in the archive of American car giant Ford and has remained loyal to the automobile industry ever since. After another move to venerable Swedish brand Volvo, she joined the BMW Group in 2000. First serving as press officer for the newly launched MInI brand, she has held a number of different positions within the Group’s communications organisation over the last 14 years. Her most recent position was Head of International Press and PR Events.

One of these times is now, as I prepare to stand down from my 17 years’ involvement with the Council and the last 10 years as its Chairman. Along the way there have been many memorable moments. These include events such as the IAA in Frankfurt, Techno Clas- sica, the Mille Miglia, the Villa D’Este Concorso, and of course BMW Motorrad Days. And I think not just of the events, but often the drives to get there. Be it through the scenery of Bavaria and northern Italy, across Death Valley, along the coast near Cape Town or the pristine beauty of New Zealand’s South Island. Events and Council meetings themselves invoke many fond memories, from a unique dinner on the 50 yard line in the Skydome in Toronto, to a boisterous beer or three in the beer tents at several Oktoberfests in Munich. But one factor remained constant, wherever I was, and whatever I was doing, I was sharing the ex- perience with BMW friends. I have always said clubs are not formed by cars or motorcycles, but by people – passionate and enthusiastic BMW owners. I have had the pleasure of meeting numerous members from clubs throughout the world as well as from the BMW corporate family.

  • Rodrigues Steps out of the Shadows, Al-Attiyah Rams Home His Advantage
    Iquique, 9th of January, 2015 Rodrigues steps out of the shadows, Al-Attiyah rams home his advantage Discreet since the start in Buenos Aires, Helder Rodrigues is still capable of a major feat, as he demonstrated with his five previous stage victories on the Dakar. This figure moved up to six this evening in Iquique, after a great day for the Portuguese rider. Nasser Al-Attiyah made it victory number three and continues to enjoy a dream start since Buenos Aires, though the threat of Giniel de Villiers still remains. Ultra-consistent and ambitious, Helder Rodrigues has always fallen short when looking for outright victory on the Dakar, despite two podium finishes (in 2011 and 2012) The South American rally-raid did not seem to be smiling on him either in 2015, with so far a 10th place in the general standings which is below his expectations. However, after a 318-km special perfectly negotiated this Friday by the Portuguese rider, he now climbs to 6th in the general standings, 2’20’’ behind Toby Price who was the runner-up today. The Australian, participating in his first Dakar, demonstrated a good turn of speed and also navigational talent. Paulo Gonçalves is used to good performances on the Dakar and finally clawed back time on the Barreda/Coma duo, finishing just 1’42’’ behind the day’s winner. The incisive Honda rider strengthened his third place in the general standings, waiting to ambush the men ahead. Local boy Pablo Quintanilla is also ready to take advantage of any mistakes and finished fourth in Iquique.

  • Beneath the Gentle Veneer Lies a Wealth of Wisdom A
    Media Information BENEATH THE GENTLE VENEER LIES A WEALTH OF WISDOM A wealth of motorsport knowledge and experience underlies the blithesome Juan Möhr, who’s Cross Country accomplishments over the past 24-years include the South African regional and national championships, the FIA Cross Country Rally World Cup and the character-building Dakar Rally. The cheerful Möhr started racing in regional events with his uncle Max Möhr in 1996 and has participated in 85 SA Cross Country (SACCS) events since 2002, placing him amongst the most experienced navigators in the current SACCS series. “Uncle Max was a motorsport devotee and highly respected by his peers, a truly big hearted man but also a hard task master. One of the first lessons I was taught before I could even start racing was, if you want to play the game - know the rules. Something I have never forgotten,” Juan said. Juan’s formative years included, building from scratch, a Class B Special Vehicle which Max and he won the 1996 Barberspan 400 regional race in, on his 19th birthday and in their first outing. The following year the pair won the Transvaal Regional Championship and placed second in the popular Total Super Series short circuit challenge. In 1997 Möhr was employed by the charismatic Richard Schilling, a multiple Cross Country champion, former president of Motorsport South Africa and the FIA Cross Country Commission and a current board member of both organisations, to build and prepare his race winning vehicles. 1999 saw Möhr step up to a Class A Raceco, which he also prepared, with longstanding friend Mark Corbett with their best outing for the year being a third place in the Lesotho Roof of Africa.
